If you’d like to hear some fascinating football history talks (as well as one by me) as visit a really excellent volunteer led museum, then this event is for you!

If you’d like to hear some really interesting football-related talks (plus I’ll be speaking too) and visit an excellent volunteer led museum, then this is the event for you.

Fair to say I’m not Sadiq Khan’s biggest fan but he’s 100% correct here. Trump accepts our hospitality, our government fawn over him, £££s wasted on his state visit and he insults us with his usual lies once he’s on his plane home. I hope he and his minions never darken our doorstep again.

When the British Press are doing what American Media seem incapable of doing.

The sailing ship “Stad Amsterdam” inbound at Greenwich this morning. Unfortunately, I missed the shot of her passing by the “Cutty Sark”.

Another flypast from the BBMF Dakota yesterday at Ickenham Cricket Club.

Ickenham Cricket Club looking a treat for the final weekend of the cricket season.

DC3/C47 inbound to RAF Northolt tonight. Hopefully dropping Trump off at Stansted later, preferably without a parachute.

D, no contest. Don’t @ me.

THREAD/Today marks the 80th anniversary of arguably one of the most talked about events of the later Battle of Britain/early Blitz period. It was a day when two daylight raids were mounted by the Luftwaffe against London and our thread today concerns the first of these two raids. It was a relatively

Likewise. I’m a white middle aged man and I’d like to think my profile photo would explain that I’m not of the far right, racist persuasion. I’m disgusted by these flag shagging morons.

Flag shagger at Baker Street.

Rainbow over Ickenham Cricket Club earlier this afternoon.

@lccmunicipal.bsky.social One for you, just off Praed Street, a fine Metropolitan Borough of St. Marylebone crest inset into the wall of an apartment block currently undergoing renovation work.

The Red Arrows just flew over my house, not sure what that was all about. Needless to say, no camera at hand!

1st XI champions, 2nd XI champions, 5th XI promoted. I’m but a mere Vice President and social member but bloody hell, what a night!!

The cruise ship “Viking Vela” moored off Greenwich this evening under a moody autumn sky.

Dispatches from the West Country: somebody’s painted 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿s on a load of roundabouts in Penzance and the locals are furious because they also hate the English

If anyone is visiting that London place and finds themselves in the vicinity of St Paul’s Cathedral, I’d recommend spending 20 minutes or so to take in “The Watch”, a lovely free exhibition in the South Churchyard covering the cathedral in the Blitz and the work of the St Paul’s Watch.

Putting my ducks in a row earlier today.

He’ll find out very quickly next month when he visits London what most British people think of him.

Looks like the knuckle draggers have been at work overnight.

I’ve made a new friend tonight!

The test will be sent to all compatible mobile phones and tablets across the UK. You will hear a loud siren-like sound, vibration, and a message will appear on the screen confirming that this is a test. The sound and vibration will last for about 10 secs. You will not need to take any further action

I am done slightly diminishing bands. We must increase bands. Audible Leppard

Almost totally overlooked by BBC and Sky but Middlesex chased down 387 yesterday in the highest List A chase in this country, but of course they’re all over the meaningless slogging competition that probably won’t exist next season.

Viking Saturn at Greenwich earlier today.

Show me your getaway vehicle.

Going downstairs to leave the bus, the journey is further enhanced by another passenger who appears to have peed himself at some point in the recent past.

Using public transport would be so much nicer if my fellow passengers would take a shower in the morning and/or use deodorant!

This time last week….

Not too bad then, just a delayed start at Lord’s?

The full tour party at Sidmouth last week

We also visited Budleigh Salterton CC last week at their splendid new ground.

About to get the finger from my best mate last week in the pub. What are friends for? 😂

At the wonderful Sidmouth Cricket Club today.

Sidmouth Cricket Club looking a treat today.

This is easy. You don’t have to provide bank details or anything like that, just do the face scan, which is then deleted and you’re done. Takes about 30 seconds.

Had an enjoyable day watching Middlesex v Northamptonshire in the County Championship at Merchant Taylors School today. Over 300 runs scored in the day and plenty of wickets too. Rural scenes just 20 or so miles from central London.

An original Southern Railway station sign for Denmark Hill Station on display at the Doric Arch pub in Eversholt Street, Euston.

Paid a visit to the newly refurbished National Maritime Museum at Greenwich and must confess to feeling a little underwhelmed as nothing much seems to have changed. I did like this figurehead from HMS Bulldog though, which looks like an angry version of Brian from Family Guy!

Anyone know what this big old unit is in my garden? Big caterpillar?

You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh….

People smoking everywhere, the office, pubs, buses, trains, cinemas and you and your clothing stinking of smoke constantly (even though I’m a non-smoker). Power cuts. IRA bombs. Everything closing at 11pm.

In 1908, Greenwich gained a smart new Police Station, which was located on Trafalgar Road, at the junction with Park Row. Here we see the Police Station shortly after opening. It had a relatively short working life of just 36 years, because at 00:25 in the early morning of 8th July 1944, it became..

City of London Yeomanry Great War Memorial, with added 1939-45 panels in the Church of St. Bartholomew the Great.

@jojohook.bsky.social Met two friends of yours this morning!
